One night on February 2008, Busque was sitting at home and getting ready for dinner with her husband when she realized she was out of dog food.

The couple wondered: Are we going to have a cab stop on the way home? Later that night, they kept talking about how it would be nice if there was a place to go to online where could name a price they were willing to pay for someone to get them dog food.

Busque quit her job at IBM and founded TaskRabbit in June 2008. The site has grown since we last spoke to Busque: since the company's series A round in May, TaskRabbit has seven times the amount of users, and the posted tasks have tripled. TaskRabbit also closed a second funding round of $17.8 million in December, and is now in seven cities: San Francisco, Chicago, Los Angeles, Boston, New York City, Seattle, and Portland. The next city is Austin, which will launch at SXSW next month.

We visited TaskRabbit's San Francisco offices to see what it's like there...

Here we are. That rabbit looks busy!

Johnny Brackett showed us around. He's talking to marketing head Jamie Viggiano. Brackett joked that most employees love TaskRabbit so much, they probably should start doing their own errands again.

Everyone used to just eat at the table in the far back. But the company keeps growing, so they had to add a few more tables to accommodate.

Would you dress up as a hot dog and bring someone to their birthday party like this guy did? Before you become a TaskRabbit, you have to go through some training.

Nerf gun war! They don't take themselves too seriously here. Maybe they have extra time because they are out-sourcing their chores.

If you can't use TaskRabbit to get food delivered to you, you might want to try Foodspotting to find dishes that you want to try in your neighborhood.
